- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Add the lime juice, cilantro, Greek yogurt, garlic (peeled and minced), and olive oil to the blender.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Start blending the mixture on low speed, and gradually increase to high speed. If the sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
